How horrible! I hope she's OK now...She looks very precious, I get clucky whenever I see a baby. Before Bailey's birthday my 14 year old son said "Now, dad, there's going to be a baby there, but remember it's BAILE'YS day, don't spend all the time paying attention to the baby like you did last time!"...

I spent the weekend away from home and Its been 4 days since my last shave.
I've only used the Vost 4 or 5 times, and it still holds the fantastic edge Oz put on it.
It usually takes me 3 passes to get to BBS, the Vost got me there tonight in 2. Thats impressive, particularly when your up against a 4 day growth.
I decided on the Cella earlier today and have felt hungry for it ever since. I love the smell of this stuff.
A Fantastic shave.

Thanks for all the GREAT posts and pics gentlemen
